vet has diagnosed an abscess between Trigger's dewclaw and first toe, and has opened it a little - not much other than blood came out, and if it gets bigger, or doesn't get any smaller, he's to go back to have it lanced
as vet was about 12, I do wonder a bit though about this diagnosis - no smell, no heat, no apparent pain when squeezed, no obvious pus and certainly no fighting - given Trigger's history of liquid-filled cysts, I have my suspicions this is not a straightforward abscess - though lancing it will reduce it anyway
anyone had experience of an abscess with so few abscess-like symptoms?
